"Franklin Physical Therapy got me to the start and their hearts brought me to the finish!' A close friend of mine recommended Franklin Physical Therapy and said they'd take good care of me. She was right! From the minute I walked through the door the staff made me feel exceedingly comfortable.

The treatment plan and exercises were always explained thoroughly. They addressed all of my questions and I never felt rushed during my appointments. The upbeat staff got to know me as a person, which truly helped me remain positive! I learned so many things from them and without a doubt feel like I've become a better runner. On April 19, 2010, I fulfilled my dream of running the Boston Marathon. Thank you Franklin Physical Therapy!"
